Then new history is
recoment to new historicism.it means ''if the 1970 could be called
the age of decounstruction '' writes joseph litvak ,''some
hypothical survey of late 20th century criticism might well
charecterize the 1980's as marking the return to history ,or
perhaps the recovery of the referent ''
- michael warner phrases new historicism 's motto as ,''the text is historical, and history is textual''
- frederic jamson insisted ,''Always historicize,''.
As
a return to historical scholership ,new historicism concerns itself
with extraliterary matters -letters,diaries,films, paintings
,medical treatises -looking to reveal opposing historical tensions
in a text .new historicists seek ''surprising coincidences'' that
may cross generic ,historical and cultural lines in borrowings of
metaphor,ceremony or popular culture .

new historicism v/s old
historicism
- stephen greenblatt ,a renaissance scholer and founding editior of the journal representation ,may credited with the coining of the term ''new historicism ''
- green belt identifies major influence on his thought from jameson ,foucault ,and jean francisco lyotard all of them raised the question of art and society as related to institutionlization practices.Some writer give to new words of new historicism.
- Lyatard argues that capitalism has forced a false intergration of these worlds.
- Capitalism
- historical and economic theory
- totalizing
- universal ideas
- ''we'', ''center'', ''real''
- ''fault lines''new historicism frequntely borrows terminology from the market place : exchange ,negotiation and circulation of ideas are described.
- H. Aram veeser calls ''the moment of exchange
-
porter saw : history as ''world views magisterially unfolding as a
series of tableaux in a film called progress,''
- greeblatt adds that ''contemporary theory must situate itself ..in the hidden places of negotiation and exchange '' (to wards a poetic of culture '')
- ''system of disposition ''
historical
sense is used to swift in 'guliver travels', in ''the flying island
and female anatomy ,gynechology and power in guliver travels,''
- bruse : '' monsterous birth''bruce discribes the trend towards the education of midwives and the medical professions desire to stamp them out .bruce then connects the male establishment 's outrag at the female power expressed in the hoax to guliver 's observations on woman especially his nauseating description o f the queen of brobdingnagian woman with breast tumer with holes so large that he could have easily crept'' into one .Laputa is a gigantic trope of the female body .''it is this which engenders the name of the island in a pradigmatic instance of misgyny, the achivement of control over female body it self render that body the whore laputabut eventually the control over the feminine that drives laputa becomes its own undoing ,for the more the men of the island try to restrict their woman from traveling below to balrlibarbi,the more male importance theatens laputian society . Gulliver notes the men's ineffectuality in servral ways ,abstrected as they are in their foolish ''science'', they are so absent -minded they must have an aettendant called a ''flapper'' who constantly must slap them out of their reveries .the woman, on the other hand, have an ''abundance of vivacity they condemn their husband, and are exceedingly fond of strenger mistress and lover may proceed and without his flapper his side ''
- bruce connects the men's doomed attempt of various types of science to control the woman's body''to the debate about language in book 3.

new
historicism is a globel so its expressive any time .
